“I look at these people and can't quite believe that they exist. Are they professional actors? I wonder. Or are they simply laymen who want a lot of attention? To put them in perspective, I think of being on an airplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and, eventually, parks it beside my seat. "Can I interest you in the chicken?" she asks. "Or would you prefer the platter of shit with bits of broken glass in it? To be undecided in this election is to pause for a moment and then ask how the chicken is cooked."

- Author David Sedaris, on undecided voters

just say no.

ok, not to bombard you all with political opinion & video BUT, this PSA-styled ad is genius.



p.s. has anyone else encountered people lately (usually older folks OR closet republicans) who would rather not vote than vote for either candidate? i find this phenomenom utterly amazing, especially when i consider (with fear and an escape plan in my heart) a world under mccain-palin administration! this video is for them...don't do it, just say no to mccain-palin.

the great debate.

so here it is, tonight is the last presidential debate of '08. today i am sharing my favorite videos and sites from this election season - register, be heard...i plan to barack the vote.

this site let's you find out what % your beliefs compare to the candidates, i am 78% barack according to them, but so is everyone else i know that has taken this quiz!

be inspired. inspire others - HOPE.ACT.CHANGE.

when was the last time you guilt-tripped your grandparents? go ahead and schlep.


we are the ones.


yes we can.

"we must be the change we wish to see in the world."

"florida! florida! florida!"
-tim russert, 1950 - 2008

i am deeply saddened tonight at the shocking news that tim russert of meet the press, passed away earlier today, he was only 58. i mostly try to keep my politics out of this space, but if you know me well you would know that i love politics - obsessively sometimes - watching and analyzing. and on sunday mornings i have shows...meet the press, chris matthews and face the nation..i set my alarm to get up at 9am with tim - hungover, sleepy, cranky - i get up and watch it. if i miss the 9am show, i know that it replays at 6pm on msnbc...it's an addiction. so while i wonder what i will be doing at 9am on sunday this father's day, i send out thoughts of love and respect in memory of tim russert - go buffalo!
